=== Public By public transport and hitchhiking === In summer From Santiago, the only bus company that goes directly to Molina is PULLMAN DEL SUR. These buses come leave from the "Terminal Alameda"/"Terminal de Santiago" complex , which is located next to the area "Universidad de Santiago" Metro station. It isn't possible to buy a return ticket from a Santiago but the town price of a one-way ticket should cost CLP $4,000-$5,000 During the peak season -- largely defined, in this case, as from Christmas time to the end of February -- buses go all the way to Parque Inglés from Molina. The station These local buses leave from the bus terminal, which is located about half a block north of the away from Molina's main square (Plaza de Armas de ). If you have any enquiries about the buses then e-mail "Buses Hernandez" buseshernandez@gmail.com. Address: Calle Maipú 1735, Molina. One must consider Bear in mind that they come , for about nine and fly a half months of the year, these buses only go up as far as the village of Radal, which serves as the entrance to the protected area. A second option is "Buses Radal Siete Tazas", whose buses GENERALLY only run during the months of January and February, and on long public holiday weekends in December. Both companies have Facebook pages, in Spanish, where they publish their bus timetables If you miss your bus to the morningnational park and are short of time, you can hitchhike from Valdesina, which is a small settlement on the road between Molina and Radal. In autumn You can take a minibus or ("micro") to Valdesina. These minibuses leave from just outside Curicó bus terminal and winter there make a stop at Molina bus terminal on the way. It's just a case of riding one as far beyond Molina as it will take you, and then getting off the minibus before it turns around and heads back the other way. If you can't find a minibus to Valdesina, then just hop on one that has a destination sign on the front that includes the place name "TRES ESQUINAS". These minibuses can at least drop you off on the Molina-Radal road -- specifically, in the settlement of La Palmilla, which is no busesabout three kilometres less far up the road than Valdesina. Either way, make it clear to the bus driver that you plan on hitchhiking to Radal/Las Siete Tazas/Parque Inglés, so that he knows where to drop you off. Bear in mind that if you are visiting the national park, without a vehicle, outside of the peak tourist season, then even in the BEST case scenario, you will have to hitchhike into it from the village of Radal.
